During <\/span>the <\/span>healing <\/span>process, <\/span>it <\/span>becomes <\/span>clear <\/span>whether <\/span>the <\/span>skin <\/span>was <\/span>overworked <\/span>of <\/span>underworked. <\/span>In <\/span>addition, <\/span>skin <\/span>melanin <\/span>affects <\/span>how <\/span>colors <\/span>heal <\/span>en <\/span>appear <\/span>over <\/span>time, <\/span>meaning <\/span>tatoeage <\/span>artists <\/span>must <\/span>understand <\/span>both <\/span>kleur <\/span>theory <\/span>en <\/span>skin <\/span>biology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even <\/span>na <\/span>fourteen <\/span>years <\/span>of <\/span>tattooing, <\/span>Lilian <\/span>still <\/span>sees <\/span>kleur <\/span>as <\/span>an <\/span>area <\/span>where <\/span>she <\/span>continues <\/span>to <\/span>grow <\/span>en <\/span>learn.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
